Originally from Washington State, now living in Alaska. Married for 28 years. Two adult children. Interested in local politics for community improvement and pursuit of renewable energy resources in Alaska. Eventually, I'll try talking friends into buying land and forming a compound of "middle-agers" living together like an extended family in the Pacific Northwest (central or eastern WA or OR) or in adjoining condos together right downtown Seattle or Portland!

Today I received the Sleeping Princess ring and it is so beautiful! I'm very pleased. I wished Buana made this ring in a size 9 because it is the sort of design I normally wear on a middle finger, but it looked so pretty and different from what I can usually find, I decided to try it on a traditional ring finger instead. I am not disappointed at all because while the ring is substantial, the princess figure and her crown are also delicate enough that the ring isn't overpowering or too big. It looks great on any finger of the hand. There is absolutely nothing about the Sleeping Princess ring I do not like. It is sized correctly. The silver is solidly hefty, smooth, polished, and comfortable. The delicate sculpturing is beautiful. The carved bone face of the princess and the single citrine stone are just right, providing multidimensional interest without being overpowering (and therefore, tacky). In summary, the Sleeping Princess ring is very well made, classy, and gorgeous to boot! Thank you so much for a beautiful piece of jewelry at a fair price, and for getting it to me so quickly from far away. Finally, I want to also thank Buana and Novica for high- caliber business ethics. In today's culture of consumers bearing all costs of doing business and businesses treating customers as if we are undeserving of quality goods and respectful treatment in exchange for our hard-earned money, far too many (actually, most) consumer purchases of ALL kinds end up disappointing or big hassles due to poor quality and/or poor customer service. Often, we actually feel cheated but there is nothing we can do about it. I usually dread shopping now because I know that probably Something will go wrong and I will be spending extra time frustratingly trying to get follow-through and satisfaction. In contrast, it is such a Pleasure to give my business to the artists selling through Novica because, thus far, Every Single purchase (spanning a few years) has been blessedly problem-free and satisfying. I have not once felt disappointed or cheated in some way. Instead, I've placed the orders online with no snafus. I've received well-packaged shipments in the time promised or sooner. There have been no follow-up hassles for me. The items I purchased have been what I was expecting and even nicer than photos could show. Every item has been such high quality that I've been completely happy with my choices, suffering no shopper's remorse or sense of shame for wasting my money needlessly on garbage I'm stuck with or must get rid of. Thank you!!!!!!
